The United Nations
- The United Nations is an organization of sovereign nations, not a world government. It provides the machinery to help find solutions to disputes or problems, and to deal with virtually any matter of concern to humanity.
- The UN system is composed of several types of international organizations consisting of
- Programmes
- Specialized Agencies
- and inter-agency bodies which coordinate the various organizations within the system
The list of organizations is not complete. It merely lists those which have a home page and are accessible on-line. For a more comprehensive list [including those organizations which are not on-line] see the UNITED NATIONS Official Classification
- The Web Locator site lists the various organizations which are part of the UN System by various search categories.
The site also has several search tools for searching for Information throughout the UN System and conference schedules, library and documentation services, press releases, role of the organization, publications sales catalogues, vacancy notices for international staff.
This listing is limited to International Organizations (other than those within the UN System) who are known to have WEB sites.
